Efficiency of quasiparticle evacuation in superconducting devices

Author(s)
Sukumar Rajauria, L. Pascal, P. Gandit, F. Hekking, B. Pannetier, H. Courtois
We have studied the di®usion of excess quasiparticles in a current-biased superconductor strip in proximity to a metallic trap junction. In particular, we have

Ultrafast Demagnetization Measurements using Extreme Ultraviolet Light: Comparison of Electronic and Magnetic Contributions

Author(s)
Thomas J. Silva, Justin M. Shaw, Hans T. Nembach, Margaret M. Murnane, Henry C. Kapteyn, Chan La-O-Vorakiat, Stefan Mathias, Emrah Turgut, Teale A. Carson, Martin Aeschlimann, Claus M. Schneider
Ultrashort pulses of extreme ultraviolet light from high-harmonic generation are a new tool for probing coupled charge, spin, and phonon dynamics with element

Standards for the Optical Detection of Protein Particulates

Author(s)
Dean C. Ripple, Michael J. Carrier, Joshua R. Wayment
Particulates in protein therapeutics, composed of agglomerated protein monomers, may cause an immunogenic response in patients. Consequently, industry and the

Beyond s-wave scattering for ultracold atoms

Author(s)
Ross A. Williams, Lindsay J. LeBlanc, Karina K. Jimenez Garcia, Matthew C. Beeler, Abigail R. Perry, William D. Phillips, Ian B. Spielman
Interactions between particles can be strongly altered by their environment. Here we demonstrate a technique for modifying interactions between ultracold atoms

Internal Curing - Constructing More Robust Concrete

Author(s)
Jason Weiss, Dale P. Bentz, Anton Schlinder, Pietro Lura
It is often said that there are two types of concrete: concrete that has cracked and concrete that is going to crack. Unfortunately, this is true all too

A Model for Calculating Diffraction Elastic Constants

Author(s)
Thomas H. Gnaeupel-Herold, Adam A. Creuziger, Mark A. Iadicola
An alternate model is proposed to calculate the diffraction elastic constants from the elastic constants of the single crystal. It is based on the inverse

Extension and new level optimization of the Ne IV spectrum

Author(s)
Alexander Kramida, C M. Brown, Uri Feldman, Joseph Reader
Spectra of Ne emitted by a Penning discharge were recorded in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) region between 140 Å and 359 Å on a 10.7 m grazing-incidence

Structural Collapse and Superconductivity in Rare-Earth-Doped CaFe2As2

Author(s)
S. R. Saha, N. P. Butch, T. Drye, J. Magill, S. Ziemak, K. Kirshenbaum, P. Y. Zavalij, Jeffrey W. Lynn, J. Paglione
The interplay between structural, magnetic and superconducting properties in the newly discovered iron-based superconducting compounds has been a central theme

Does Shape Matter? Bioeffects of Gold Nanomaterials in a Human Skin Cell Model

Author(s)
Nicole M. Schaeublin, Laura K. Braydich-Stolle, Elizabeth I. Maurer, Kyoungweon Park, Robert I. MacCuspie, A R M N. Afrooz, Navid B. Saleh, R.A. Vaia, Saber Hussain
Gold nanomaterials (AuNMs) have distinctive electronic and optical properties, making them ideal candidates for biological, medical, and defense applications

MEMS

Author(s)
Michael Gaitan
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are devices that are fabricated using techniques similar to those used for integrated circuits (ICs) to create

ITRS Chapter: RF and A/MS Technologies

Author(s)
Herbert S. Bennett, John J. Pekarik
Radio frequency and analog/mixed-signal (RF and A/MS) technologies are essential and critical technologies for the rapidly diversifying semiconductor market

CFD Modeling of Fire

Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Randall J. McDermott, Glenn P. Forney, Jason E. Floyd, Simo A. Hostikka, Howard R. Baum
An overview of a methodology for simulating fires and other thermally-driven, low-speed flows is presented. The model employs a number of simplifications of the

Static Analyzers: Seat Belts for Your Code

Author(s)
Paul Black
Just as seat belt use is wide spread, we argue that the use static analysis should be part of ethical software development. We explain some of the procedures of

Conclusive quantum steering with superconducting transition-edge sensors

Author(s)
Devin H. Smith, Marcelo de Almeida, Gillett Geoff, Branciard Cyril, Allesandro Fedrizzi, Weinhold J. Till, Adriana Lita, Brice R. Calkins, Thomas Gerrits, Wiseman H, Sae Woo Nam, Andrew G. White
Quantum steering allows two parties to verify shared entanglement even if one measurement device is untrusted. A conclusive demonstration of steering through
